This is another manifestation of the open Jew-hatred, not just opposition to Israel, that we see all over the world. It is noteworthy that this sign would be found in Istanbul, as Islamic antisemitism has made Hitler’s Mein Kampf a perennial bestseller in Turkey and other majority-Muslim countries.
“A second-hand bookstore in Istanbul looks like Nazi Germany: ‘Jews cannot enter,'” translated from “İstanbul’da bir sahaf Nazi Almanyası’nı aratmıyor: ‘Yahudiler giremez,’” Avlaremoz, October 26, 2023:
With the continuation of the Israel-Hamas war, antisemitism in Turkey is becoming more visible. After the taxi with the words ‘Israelis cannot ride’ and the Israeli flag laid on the ground in the market last week, now not only Israelis, but all Jews are the targets.
According to the visual we received on October 25, 2023, he hung the sign at the entrance of the Ragmen Sahaf door on Bozdağan Kemeri Street in Istanbul. Prepared in English and Turkish bilingually, it read: “JEWS NOT ALLOWED JEWS CANNOT ENTER.” The banner also depicts the Israeli flag crossed out.
This discriminatory behavior of Ragmen Sahaf is not only illegal and anti-Semitic, but also reminds us of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Relevant municipalities and prosecutors’ offices should do what is necessary to remove this anti-Semitic banner, prevent similar anti-Semitic and discriminatory banners from being prepared and displayed, impose the necessary penalties, and take all necessary measures to ensure that Jews live peacefully in the country.
In 2018, we translated and published the laws in Nazi Germany to explain how Jews were systematically and legally subjected to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Mark Osaki says
Turkey’s enthusiastic and widespread antisemitism is yet another of countless reasons to kick it out of NATO.
Ernie says
And boycott the country in any way possible , isolate the islamofascistnazi-regime .
Rachel Lustig says
I wouldn’t got there anyway, wouldn’t do them the honour.
WPM says
The United States of America should just leave NATO ,it has gotten too expensive how many wars must the American taxpayer foot. Let Europe foot the bill for the war in Ukraine ,America is going to finance the protection of Israel ,what about protecting our own borders ? How much money do we send to Moslem majority countries that same money is being used to finance the Hamas and other anti-Jewish, anti western civilization terror actives in Middle East , the Americas and in Europe.
Ernie says
Well WMP , USA isolationism ? USA leave NATO ? Let Europe(alone) pay for Ukraine ? Bye bye Free Western World .
Ernie says
WMP , your proposals are dangerous and would finish The West . Do you want to divide us ?Don’t you see that ? Is that what you want ? Are you a Russian troll ?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Thank you! That’s exactly the point I have been making since 20 years ago! The Cold War ended in 1992, and whatever ambitions the Russians have are localized to their “near-abroad” i.e. the fall-out states of the Soviet Union, which would be Ukraine, Belarus, the -stans, Georgia and Armenia
We have troops in some 150 countries. We need to pull out of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and have troops only in 2 places:
➤ Our own border
➤ Indo-Pacific region (There, our allies – at least Japan and India, do a good job pulling their weight. Australia did too, until this government came along)
Ernie seems to be locked in a time warp of the 80s. Besides that, he’s glossing over the role Turkey has been playing, which is totally opposed to our interests. Turkey’s presence in the alliance is one of the biggest reasons that we shouldn’t be in it! Calling WPM a Russian troll makes him sound like Adam Schitt
Ernie says
I’m glossing over Turkish role ? Can you read Infidel ? Turkey plas a very dubious role in the Middle East and should be thrown out of NATO . I said it should be boycotted in EVERY way . Turkey plays THE WEST hard and is part of the axis of EVIL . USA leaving NATO is making THE WEST weaker . . and that is not exactly what THE WEST needs in these indeed perilous times . That is not a mindset of more than 40 years ago Infidel .It is the current situation that is very dangerous and the west should stand unified and strong . Throwing Turkey out of NATO makes us stronger and USA leaving NATO makes us weaker . I stand with Israel and the whole western world ; is that wrong ?!
Ernie says
Sorry WPM it must be , not WMP. When reading this kind of stuff I really get pissed .
The Past says
The Bear in the north; Turkey!
GreekEmpress says
Of course there’s no Jews allowed. That’s in keeping with their genocidal makeup. I’m surprised there’s a single Jew, Greek, Assyrian, or Armenian left in Turkey.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
That’s what struck me: are there any Jews in Turkey?
On a different note, Israel should terminate diplomatic relations w/ Ankara
Ernie says
Yes Infidel . there live about 10000 Jews in Turkey today .
George J. says
Why would any decent person visit islamic Turkey is beyond me.
bagsgroove says
It’s time all non moslems of the world to unite and form a common front against the evil hordes.
Ernie says
Fully agreed , Bagsgroove .
aum says
This is called progress under Erdogan.
Scotsman48 says
I knew a rather beautiful young Jewish woman born and raised in Istanbul though she traveled a lot in Asia, India Thailand Malaysia and I dont know where she is now but i didn’t know there were Jews in Turkey and she informed me they have been there long before islam was a thing.
She does not want to live there anymore as she told me she despises islam.
bagsgroove says
They should have signs all over the place in other countries saying “No Turkeys Allowed “
bagsgroove says
Erdogan shall begone
